Dips and Spreads Recipe » Creamy Hummus

Here's how to make super creamy and smooth hummus at home! Pinching the skins off the chickpeas is tedious, but trust me--it creates the best consistency, and is totally worth it.

Ingredients

• ½ cup tahini
• ⅓ cup lemon juice, or more as needed
• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• ⅓ cup water
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions

1. Combine tahini and 1/3 cup lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor; blend into a paste, adding extra lemon juice, if needed, until no longer dry.
2. Pinch skins off chickpeas. Discard skins and add chickpeas to food processor with water, garlic, olive oil, paprika, and salt. Puree until smooth. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.
